Audi RSQ3 meets 🔥

This beast came in for a full Milltek exhaust system and left with a whole new attitude. The RSQ3 already packs serious performance, but with Milltek’s precision-engineered system, we’ve unlocked:

✅ Sharper throttle response

✅ A deeper, more aggressive soundtrack

The result? A daily driver that now feels (and sounds) like a track weapon. From refined cruising tones to an all-out roar under load, the transformation is insane. 👊

This immaculate Audi RS4 came in for some custom touches and we delivered 👊

We’ve just fitted a full blow-off valve kit to give this beast the extra boost noise it deserves — the perfect pairing with the exhaust system we previously installed 🔊💨

The customer also picked up the incredibly versatile PDM tool, allowing on-the-fly flashing to Stage 1 engine and transmission software — and the best part? It can be returned to stock at any time, straight from home. 💻⚡️

🚘 Big Job for a GTI! 🔧🔥
We had this lovely VW Golf GTI in the workshop for some essential maintenance and tasty performance upgrades 💪

🔧 First up: Maintenance
We tackled a few known weak spots on these:
✅ Thermostat housing & water pump replacement
✅ Front suspension top mounts due to worn bearings (that annoying turning noise — gone!)

After refitting the cooling system, we vacuum-tested it as always. This time? No vacuum hold. A quick system check revealed a leaking radiator.
🧊 Old rad out, new one in — vacuum test passed ✅

⚙️ Next: Performance Upgrades
Time to let this GTI breathe!
🌀 Installed the R600 intake
💨 Paired it with RacingLine’s silicone intake pipe & turbo elbow

📈 With the hardware fitted, we moved on to RacingLine Stage 1 software — unlocking smooth, reliable power gains across the rev range.

💥 Result: One transformed GTI & one very happy customer!

📍DM us to book in your VW/Audi for the works — maintenance, upgrades, tuning and more.

11/05/2025

This Renaultsport Twingo 133 needed something extra, and now it has it, thanks to a newly fitted air intake. Improving airflow, power output and noise, it perfectly complements the cat-back exhaust we've already fitted.

🚗💨 Audi A5 Cabriolet – Coolant Leak & EML Fixed! 🔧✅

This week we had this Audi A5 Cabriolet in with a major coolant leak and an engine management light (EML) on the dash. After stripping it down, we found coolant leaking badly from the thermostat and water pump area, running onto the wiring plug for the thermostat and causing damage to the wiring—which explained the EML fault.

This is a common issue on the 2.0 TFSI EA888 engine, found across the entire VAG range, including Audi, VW, Seat, and Skoda models.

✅ Replaced all gaskets, seals & belt
✅ Replaced damaged wiring with genuine parts
✅ Vacuum tested the cooling system – all good!
✅ Fresh coolant & full system bleed using diagnostics
✅ Road-tested (roof down, of course 😎) – running perfectly!

A full fix using genuine parts, and now this Audi is back on the road with no leaks, no warning lights, and running like a dream! 🚀

Got a coolant leak or an EML on your dash? DM us or book in today! 📩🔧

VW T6 Transporter Suspension & Brake Refresh

Last week, a customer came in after noticing their T6 was sitting lower on one side when checking the tyres. After inspection, we confirmed the van was running Bilstein B14 Komfort suspension and diagnosed a failed rear spring.

We always recommend replacing suspension springs in pairs to maintain an even ride height, so we ordered the correct set and got them fitted. With the ride height checked and sorted, we also spotted that the rear brakes were low, so we replaced them while the van was on the ramp.

✅ New rear springs installed
✅ Ride height corrected
✅ Fresh rear brakes fitted
✅ MOT completed

All work was done same-day, getting the van back on the road safely and sitting level again. If your suspension or brakes need attention, drop us a message!

🚐 VW Transporter Heater Fix – Stronger Than New! 🔥

Another VW Transporter in the workshop, another deep-dive repair! This time, the customer came to us with a heater that refused to blow hot air. After running diagnostics and checking measured values, we traced the issue back to a failed temperature flap motor.

Unfortunately, fixing it wasn’t as simple as swapping out the motor—the entire dashboard had to come out to access the heater box. Once stripped, we found the motor had seized and snapped the plastic actuator arm. The catch? This crucial part isn’t available separately, even with a new motor or heater box!

No problem for us. We 3D-printed a replacement arm, stronger than the original, and paired it with a new motor. With everything rebuilt and tested, the Transporter is back on the road with a heater that’s better than ever.
